CPA FALL

I’m curious as to how hard this course will be with no programming experience? I have already started CS50, but am in the early weeks of it so everything is so far understandable. I also will not be working during my first semester so that I can focus primarily on school. With that said, I am nervous as I know there are a lot of people who go into this program with at least some experience. I already know that I will be spending a lot of time studying and probably learning on my own as well, but anyone start off this course like me and have seen success? Obviously I know putting the work in will help anyone succeed, but really just wondering how much I’ll struggle compared to someone with experience?

plenty of people have had success after starting from nothing in this program I will say that your success will be related to your willingness to code outside of just school assignments in this program though

^ she's definitely right, but that success for some can come from just the bare minimum of doing the assignments(for some people). a lot of people get by without doing anything aside from assignments, but those who do them by cheating or half-assing them usually suffer in the long run. from someone who ate shit by half-assing it, even if you don't feel like doing it, try to be consistent
